Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 261 Moon Dance (Part 1)
Winter nights fall exceptionally quickly.

Night quietly enveloped the boundless earth, and the scattered stars, like mischievous children, broke free from the sky's constraints one by one, joyfully leaping out of the chaos to adorn the deep night.

In just a moment, a shimmering Milky Way appeared in the deep night sky, releasing faint starlight that illuminated the pristine earth.

“Squeak, squeak!”

The soft, thick snow was like a layer of cotton wool. Bright golden boots were gradually trodden on, making a soft sound and leaving clear footprints on the snowboard.

"hiss--!"

A single, glistening snowflake landed on the faintly glowing heavy sword, only to wither away like a fleeting flower, making a sound like oil splashing from a pot, forming a fine mist that was then dispersed by the following north wind.

A cold wind swept through, causing her short, dry, yellow hair to dance and partially obscure her bright eyes.

More and more shadowy trees swayed around them, and several dark figures standing at the edge of the woods suddenly sank down as if boneless, collapsing rapidly and scattering into several messy piles of snow.

Yaro remained calm; this was exactly what he had expected.

The wheels of the wooden cart were specially treated, somewhat similar to those of a sled, resulting in very low friction when traveling on snow.

At this point, even if it wasn't ten miles away from the market, it was probably seven or eight miles away.

It's important to know that elk are faster than ordinary horses; their maximum speed is close to 70 kilometers per hour. Even though Yaro kept changing direction, the carriage's average speed was no less than 40 kilometers per hour.

In such a short time, even with extraordinary abilities, the number of enemies who can keep up with the deer cannot be too many.

—You can't expect every apprentice-level superhuman to run that far in the snow at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, can you?
Therefore, among the enemies who manage to keep up, some will inevitably fall behind.

Those who could follow the carriage for a long time would naturally try their best to slow down Yaro's speed.

Those figures from earlier were, of course, just a smokescreen used by the procrastinators.

However, they probably didn't expect that Yaro never intended to escape; all his previous actions were just tactics!

"Is this all there is to you?"

The words, colder than the biting wind, were uttered by the young man, who seemed somewhat disappointed.

The crooked trees were covered with snow, and their twisted shadows swayed slightly, like a group of eerie evil spirits, with countless pairs of prying eyes hiding among them.

A moment of silence fell over the jungle.

They've been chasing him for so long, how could they give up just because of a boy's words?
A hoarse voice rang out from nowhere: "You don't actually think you chose a great spot, do you?"

"You have no cover around you, you're a sitting duck for us, and we're right here in this forest, what kind of magic do you have that can attack us?"

Yaro understood.

Looking around at the distorted shadows, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips: "So, everyone around you is your companion?"

"Are there no onlookers, or have you driven the onlookers to the perimeter?"

"This is...good!"

Yaro narrowed his eyes slightly.

The raging killing intent within him was no longer suppressed!

"After running all this way, how much energy do you have left?"

"If you used magic to assist you, how much mana did you consume?"

Pong!
A thick fog suddenly burst open, golden light burst forth, and fluffy snowflakes danced and fell.

Mist Body Technique!
Instantaneous technique!
and also--

Crescent Moon Triple Slash - First Move!
No need for footsteps; with just a powerful burst of energy, a clear straight line is left on the ground!

The air currents surged, and the crystalline heavy sword, emitting a faint red glow, drew a semi-circle in the void!
"Trying to sneak into my carriage?"

A sinister smile crept across Yaro's lips as the power core spun at high speed.

Using the momentum of the Instantaneous Movement Technique, power is poured into the greatsword from bottom to top, and at the same time, the greatsword also emits a strong airflow, adding even greater penetrating power to the blade!

"You think you can sneak up and I won't notice?"

hum!
A scarlet, cold moon rose above the white earth!

Swish!
Blood mixed with swirling snowflakes erupted five zhang high from the ground!
Then... it slowly fell.

bass!
The hard clod of earth pierced through the dense snow, cleverly catching the golden boot the moment it landed, and providing Yarrow with the perfect point to release his momentum.

"Crash!"

Thick blood mingled with dripping snowflakes, tapping against the golden heavy armor with a soft sound.

"kill him!"

Only then did a loud shout erupt from the jungle.

"Ow—!"

First came a wolf howl, then a white figure suddenly darted out of the jungle, and various incantations echoed from all directions in the jungle. Void energy continued to gather, and various elemental forces rapidly converged.

"A powerful trick that requires a spell to activate?"

Yaro glanced out of the corner of his eye at the distance between himself and the jungle.

"About twenty meters, I'm confident I can dodge any magic trick!"

Don't pay attention!

With his body slightly bent and his leg muscles contracting rapidly, he used the clods of earth beneath his feet to spin half a circle, then suddenly stopped and moved, charging towards the snow-white giant wolf!

clap clap clap!
The giant wolf kept running, and the surrounding snowflakes continued to gather towards its body. Even though its body was already as tall as a building, it had not yet reached its limit, and its size was still increasing!

"Is it a summoned creature, some kind of powerful trick, or perhaps, this is its true form?"

"Is it some kind of strange werewolf?"

Yaro couldn't figure out what this giant snow wolf was either.

But Yaro knew that as long as he passed through it, he could reach the jungle and strike the mysterious enemies who were chanting incantations!
Yaro gripped his heavy sword to the side, leaned forward, and charged forward rapidly, his eyes fixed on the giant wolf ahead. A mocking smile played on his lips: "Who says I can't enter the dense forest?"

The reason we had to leave the dense forest before was because he was in the open while the enemy was in the dark, and no one knew where or how the enemy would attack.

Now, the enemy is clear—even though they are still hiding in the dense forest, their attacks have revealed their location and numbers.

Furthermore, without the burden of the deer cart, how could they find Aro after he had disappeared into the dense forest?

Just as those people just said, Yaro's current location is particularly open, making it easy for them to launch an attack.

The reverse is also true: once you enter the jungle, everyone's line of sight is affected.

By the time--

Who is the hunter? Who can say for sure?
"Awaken the undead!"

A loud roar suddenly echoed through the jungle, as if his power wouldn't be fully displayed without shouting out the name of his spell. *Swish swish swish—!*
The snow on one side of the jungle kept shaking, and then skeletons emerged rapidly from the snow. The bones of various animals were piled up haphazardly, forming a humanoid skeleton warrior.

"kill!"

The voice roared again, and two green lights suddenly rose from the empty eyes of the skeletal warriors, who then marched in unison toward Yaro.

But at this moment, Yaro had already engaged the giant wolf in battle!
"Roar!"

The giant snow wolf opened its massive icy maw and roared furiously, sending a fierce gust of cold wind mixed with sharp, angular ice shards hurtling toward Yaro.

Swish!
"Cat-Shaped Fist - Run, Activate!"

Push off with your feet and move sideways.

Whoosh whoosh!
Ice crystals pierced the ground, forming a terrifying forest of thorns knee-high.

A cruel glint flashed in the giant wolf's snow-white eyes, and its menacing jaws, formed of ice crystals, suddenly sped up.

The enormous ice crystal snowflake bent over and turned its head, its huge mouth covered with sharp fangs like a pair of merciless giant scissors, biting at Yaro. The surrounding ice crystal thorn forest had completely blocked its escape route!
"Even with the assistance of the Demon Phoenix Golden Armor, it's impossible to successfully activate the Demon Strike Technique in less than a second!"

Relying on his powerful reflexes, in the blink of an eye, Yaro had already determined the only way to break through the predicament!

Don’t retreat but advance!

"Its enormous size certainly has its advantages, but precisely because its body is so large, the small gap between its shovel-shaped maw and its thick neck when it is standing upright is its only weakness!"

Instantaneous technique!
The hard clod of earth from the tripping technique completely covered the sole of the foot as the athlete leaned forward, transferring all the force of the launch into the left leg.

Swish!
The sudden burst of speed caught the giant wolf completely off guard!
However, Yaro cleverly dodged the giant wolf's tilting and twisting left front leg, ducked to avoid the sharp snout, and slashed upwards with his heavy sword!

The crystalline greatsword was swung diagonally upwards, the scarlet greatsword transforming into a streak of light. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his movements were fluid and smooth. His agile and graceful posture was like that of a fierce cheetah dancing gracefully!

"The Dance of Moonlight, Under the Moonlit Peak!"

A crescent moon flashed by and disappeared!
Click——!
Yaro only intended to disrupt the Snow Giant Wolf's center of gravity and attack the leg that bore most of its weight, which was like a golden rooster standing on one leg. However, he did not expect that the Snow Giant Wolf's body strength was far less than Yaro had estimated!
In terms of feel, it's at most comparable to balsa wood; compared to its enormous size, it's just a pretty face!

"So, that's why he can absorb wind and snow to expand his size, yet still remain so agile?"

However, the crystalline ice blocks covering the giant wolf's terrifying maw were not fake; the crystalline fragments it had previously emitted were also incredibly powerful.

"So, the giant wolf's main attack point is that icy maw?"

Yaro, who had charged out, stood with his sword in hand, glancing back at the snow-white giant wolf whose body was gradually shrinking and whose severed leg was rapidly regenerating.

"Although we don't know if its icy teeth can bite through the Demon Phoenix Golden Armor, we certainly shouldn't underestimate them."

"I am just an ordinary intermediate apprentice. Even if I can kill intermediate and advanced apprentices in one move by relying on some charged moves, I cannot defeat them in a head-on battle."

"Not to mention their large numbers, there may be other hyenas following!"

Since we're prepared to fight a decisive battle of annihilation, we can't be stingy with purification potions!
"Magic Strike Technique - Phoenix Spreads Its Feathers!"

The Abyss Contract Technique was quickly activated. The buried extraordinary metal acted like a circuit board, and the dense abyssal power spread rapidly under the guidance of the extraordinary metal. The blurry black phoenix traces suddenly deepened and appeared on the surface of the golden armor in an instant.

hiss--!
The subtle sounds huddled together, forming a long, cold, drawn-out sound.

The deep, eerie light interacted with each other, flickering and pulsating on the surface of the golden armor, while an unpredictable aura soared into the sky, stirring up layers of floating snow around them.

The chaotic abyssal forces collided with each other, sparking flashes of electricity that flickered like stars rising and falling within the deep flames.

The magical chains gradually flowed, forming strange feathers resembling peacock tail feathers, which rapidly overlapped and stacked to form the dense and intricate wings of the black phoenix.

The phoenix's long, narrow eyes rested on its chest, and its outstretched wings quickly wrapped around the arm armor on both sides. At the same time, elegant, mysterious tail feathers emerged layer by layer on its leg armor.

"Chirp—!"

Its proud cry was loud and clear!
With a pair of deep and bright phoenix eyes, he surveyed his surroundings with the sharp gaze of an eagle and the wary look of a wolf!

……

All the changes occurred within a few short seconds. The giant snow wolf, which had just turned around, had not yet regained its footing when it was confronted with that astonishing power. Its feet involuntarily stopped, and its millstone-sized eyes revealed a human-like fear. Its head was lowered, showing a hint of submission.

At this moment, a large group of skeletal warriors wielding long spears made of withered bones were approaching!
In the eerie dense forest, the gathered magic power stirred the void energy in the space, and a white light suddenly appeared.

"Freezing Ray!"

Just as he caught sight of the spell converging successfully out of the corner of his eye, Yaro lowered his head and bent over, the magic runes on his legs swaying slightly as he unleashed a powerful kick, simultaneously casting the Mist Body spell.

Pong!
Just as the mist burst open, a cold white light suddenly shot out, freezing the pervasive mist in an instant, turning it into tiny ice crystals that rustled and fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Yaro had already escaped that area!

The rapid movement generated strong wind pressure. Yaro narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the approaching skeletal group ahead, while inwardly scoffing disdainfully.

"I could easily dodge a trick of that speed three years ago, let alone after adding so many neural reflexes!"

Yaro refers to his casting speed. Most spells are launched faster than arrows, so if you don't prepare in advance, it's basically impossible to avoid the spell once it gets close.

"Kakaka!"

Faced with the approaching golden figure, the skeletal warriors, covered in all sorts of grime, simply raised their spears, which were pieced together from various elbow bones, in a daze.

"The dance of the moonlight, the new moon shines brightly."

Draw your sword!

charge!

boom!
A dazzling light suddenly rose, and a sticky, scarlet liquid licked and burned the blade.

The sword stance was withdrawn from the left, and all the muscles in the body tensed up.

A burst of energy erupted, the greatsword whistled, and from left to right, the crystalline blade flashed by!

"Crescent Moon Sword Technique - Crescent Moon Sweep!"

Swish!
The sweeping heavy sword, trailing viscous flames, slid in a semi-circle, illuminating the scene for a moment.

With overwhelming force, bones flew everywhere, and the figure flashed and leaped away.

……

"Crescent Moon Sword Technique - Emei Half-Moon Slash!"

suck!
The air currents flowed back, and the dazzling heavy sword, like a paintbrush, drew a slanted, fiery red crescent moon from the upper right, illuminating the graceful figure within the crescent moon.

……

"Crescent Moon Sword Technique - Lower Emei Slash!"

call!
The intense flames surged and erupted, flashing an arc from bottom to top.

……
